All the consternation over whether golf's addition to the Summer Games makes sense raises the question of whether tennis — another individual, professional sport with four annual Grand Slam tournaments and millions of dollars in prize money — belongs, too.
To U.S. Olympic men's tennis coach Jay Berger, the answer is obvious.
"When it first starts, people don't know what to expect. And I think golf is having this a little bit, in its infancy. They don't know what the meaning is going to be. But you look at the draw for the tennis, the very top players want to play," Berger said.
